Depression is considered as one of the most common
forms of psychiatric disorders. Depression is a disabling condition that not
only affects the health and wellbeing of the patient but also adversely affects
the family. Every year the prevalence of depression is rapidly increasing
across the world. Anxiety is a reaction to stress. Normally, it is
characterized as an urge to deal with adverse situations. However, extreme
levels of anxiety may be called anxiety disorder. This disorder is
characterized on the basis of the behavior of the individual. The major forms
of anxiety disorders include obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias,
post-traumatic stress disorder, and panic disorder.

The causes of both the above disorders are not
comprehensively established. The several causes of depression and anxiety
disorders include lower level of some neurotransmitters, genetic inheritance,
psychological reasons, emotional upheavals, and also due to environmental,
spiritual, and social factors. There is no uniform pattern of treatment for
patients suffering with depression or anxiety disorders. Any treatment that
works on one patient may not be as effective on another.

Thus the treatments for depression and anxiety
disorders are customized. Out of the various modes of therapies available for
depression, psychotherapy is the most common. Psychodynamic therapy, behavioral
therapy, and interpersonal therapy are the major types of psychotherapies used
for treating depression. The various medications used in treatment for
depression are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, dual-action antidepressants,
atypical antidepressants, mood stabilizers and anticonvulsants, tricyclic
antidepressants, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors.

In addition, medications for anxiety are found to be
substantially helpful in treating patients with anxiety disorders whose daily
function is being disturbed due to the illness. The medications that are often
used for treating anxiety disorders are benzodiazepines and antidepressants.
Furthermore, in some cases, electroconvulsive therapy is also found to be
useful in severe cases. In addition to the above therapeutic methods, lifestyle
changes are also prescribed to the patients. The other less often and/or
auxiliary methods of treating depression and anxiety disorders are music
therapy, botanical medicines, mind-body practice, naturopathic medicine, and
homeopathy.

The major antidepressants and anti-anxiety drug
manufacturers include pharmaceutical companies such as AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly
and Company, Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, Inc., Sanofi-Aventis, Merck and
Company, Inc., GlaxoSmithKline, and others.

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Seed
Treatment (Insecticides, Fungicides, Other Chemical and Nonchemical
Treatment) Market For Corn, Soybean, Wheat, Canola, Cotton and Others -
Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth and Forecast, 2012-2018," the global seed treatment market was valued at USD 2.43 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 4.45 billion by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2012 to 2018.

The
global demand of seed treatment has been primarily driven by the growth
of the commercial seeds (conventional and bio-seeds) market. Increasing
global farming and reduction in arable land has generated the need for
high yield productivity, further boosting the market for seed treatment.
Increasing input cost of seeds and technological developments in
agriculture are also expected to drive the demand for seed treatment.
However, environmental concerns regarding the toxicity of chemicals used
in insecticides, fungicides and other chemical treatments are expected
to inhibit the market growth.

Insecticides
dominated the seed treatment market and accounted for 52.5% of the
total market revenue in 2011. Insecticides were followed by fungicides
which accounted for 34.9% of the total market in 2011. Nonchemical
treatment, which is generally done using biological agents, is expected
to be the fastest growing treatment, at an estimated CAGR of 9.9% from
2012 to 2018.

Corn was the most dominant crop for seed
treatment, accounting for 34.7% of the global revenues in 2011. Corn was
followed by soybean, wheat canola and cotton. Canola is expected to be
the fastest growing crop requiring seed treatment, at a CAGR of 9.6%
from 2012 to 2018.

North America was the leading market for seed treatment and accounted for 42.8% of the global market in 2011; North America was followed by Latin America sharing 24.2% of the global market for the same year. Asia Pacific
is expected to be the fastest growing market for seed treatment at a
CAGR of 10.2% from 2012 to 2018. Growing awareness regarding the
advantages of treating seeds coupled with government initiatives in
countries such as China and India is expected to drive the seed treatment demand in Asia Pacific.

The global market for seed treatment is highly concentrated with the top
four companies accounting for more than 80% of the total market in
2011. Syngenta and Bayer CropScience together accounted for more than
60% of the total market in 2011. Some of the other companies operating
in the global seed treatment market include Monsanto, BASF Agriculture
Solutions, DuPont, Chemtura, Nufarm etc.

Geothermal energy is a type of heat energy that is
produced in the earth’s core. This energy is utilized in a wide range of
applications from power stations to simple pumping systems. Geothermal energy
is considered as a renewable source of energy since the water which is captured
in the form of heat while extracting geothermal energy is continuously
replenished by rainfall and again the heat generated from it can be used. A
major concentration of geothermal energy on the planet is in the area bordering
the Pacific Ocean and is called the Ring of Fire.

There are two types of geothermal systems –
hydrothermal and hot rock or enhanced geothermal systems. The most important
type of geothermal energy is hydrothermal energy which is most widely used for
generating electricity.

Increasing concerns regarding energy security, economic
growth in developing markets, rising costs of fossil fuels, several incentives
given by European countries, new technologies like binary technology, which can
use even moderate temperatures to generate a decent amount of electricity, are
some of the major drivers that are significantly fuelling this market.

The major impediments which this industry faces include
initial financing of large scale projects, resource development risks like
failure of drilling wells and insufficient productivity, lack of skilled labor
to work on the projects, issues related to drilling rigs and market and network
issues like proximity to the market and network capital costs. Also, there are
some environmental problems in producing geothermal energy like release of
hydrogen sulfide and disposal of toxic geothermal fluids while extraction.

Challenges to this industry are carrying out efficient
programs for land leasing where reserves of geothermal energy are located,
better drilling assistance in terms of accurate positioning of the site and its
viability, and significant financial support needed to establish the plants at
the desired locations.

The United States of America has the largest amount of
installed capacity and is succeeded by Philippines, Indonesia, Mexico, and
Italy. Currently there are over 150 projects under development in the U.S.. On
the other hand, China is the largest direct user of geothermal energy followed
by the United States, Sweden, and Turkey.
